We are crazy about this LEGO Movie Maker App. The reason we love it so much mostly stems from its versatility. My son and I can make a very rudimentary ten second film, or we can pass it off to my husband who might just produce a full length feature soon because he is so obsessed. Your child (or in my case, husband) chooses from just 5 different opening title scenes so it’s not too overwhelming for a little one… Read more

Welcome to Mom’s Library.  I am glad to find many hands on learning activities from last week’s sharing.  I love hands on learning ideas, because my son is very hands on, and I believe many kids are. The first thing caught my eyes is this wood ladder project.  I like how she put things together so kids can handle them easily.  This round up of building projects has so many interesting ideas, from build with styrofoam, to structure with toilet paper… Read more

Sometimes the best ideas are the most simple. That is absolutely the case with this app. That is not to say that this app is slight. Not at all. In fact, I think it packs quite a punch with what it provides. It cannot be stressed enough how important learning the alphabet is in a preschooler’s life. It opens the door to reading and writing. Beyond flashcards and repetition, there are few other options for learning your ABCs. Then came… Read more
